Monitors, however, are one of those things that do not follow the trend of technological advancement. A good monitor is a long-term investment and tends to be reliable for five or more years.

Cheap monitors entice consumers by their low price point, but skimping on a monitor tends to come back to bite you with lack of image quality and paltry input options. With that said the new Philips 328P6AUBREB monitor is a bit of a wild card offering both features that pros need, with a price that is easy on the wallet.

The easily memorable 328P6AUBREB belongs to the company’s P-Line family for professionals that require a high-quality display and advanced features. Boasting 100% sRGB coverage, 99% Adobe RGB coverage, along with HDR10, the 8-bit+FRC IPS panel can reproduce 1.07 billion colors and features The new 32-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) resolution.

According to Philips, the display has a 1200:1 static contrast ratio and 450 nits typical brightness, which HDR will benefit from. It is speculated that the new offering from Philips is a direct response to BenQ’s 27-inch SW2700PT, which features nearly identical specifications with a higher price point and slightly smaller screen.

One of the main selling points of the Philips 328P6AUBREB is its impressive connectivity. The monitor features a DisplayPort 1.2, an HDMI 2.0a, a D-Sub and a USB Type-C input. The USB-C dock capable of additional USB ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, and USB Power Delivery up to 60W, powering all put the most power hungry MacBooks and Laptops.

The Philips Brilliance 328P6AUBREB is expected to go on sale in January for a price around £439 / 499 EUR/ 499 USD (exact MSRP yet to be announced).
